I have watched the video and read your posts and I know you have valid concerns that should be addressed and respected. Colonization that resulted in slavery and death to indigenous cultures is a dark stain on humanity. Words cannot express the harm and hurt that it has brought to our world.
I would say that, if I offended you or anyone by appearing to see races or women as objects of conquest, then I deeply apologize. Being a white man, I automatically have a position of power and privilege within our society that other races or groups do not. I continue to work on my understanding and sensitivity to others that do not have that privilege. I am a work in progress.....
My post was me wanting to genuinely share in the delights of being in the company of beautiful consensual people from around the world. I in no way want to disrespect and offend.
I would love to continue to unpack complex topics such as race, colonization, and etc..... However, I think this whole discussion should be under "et cetera et cetera" or "politics" ???
You may want to look at the linked thread below. For the record, this problem doesn't just affect Black women or other women of color. Black men and other men of color are also affected:
"bbc", "mandingo", Is It Racial Fetishization Of Black Men?
I don't want to hijack this one. I merely answered the question in the thread topic and provided insight on how my own personal experience stepping outside my race made me feel or, more specifically, how those individuals themselves made me feel (negative overall). Others' mileage may vary.
